“This election is a choice between all of us who believe in and want to safeguard American democracy so that it works for everyone. And MAGA, which represents the radical right,” MoveOn Executive Director Rahna Epting told Politico. “For us, it’s really being laser-focused on making sure voters understand what’s at stake, and just how great of a risk MAGA has become, and that it’s really become the base of the Republican Party.”
“MAGA” is the acronym for Make America Great Again practiced during Trump’s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns and represented a movement of his loyal supporters.
Epting told Politico that MoveOn would back a dozen candidates and spend millions of the Democratic windfall in key swing states, including gubernatorial races.

Among the Democratic benefactors the group plans on backing include gubernatorial candidates Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Beto O’Rourke in Texas.
On the federal side, MoveOn is throwing its support and money behind Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly in Arizona and Democrat Mandela Barnes in the Wisconsin primary to take on GOP incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson eventually.
In the House races, the group supports incumbent Democrats Rep. Katie Porter and Rep. Mike Levin of California, Jahana Hayes of Connecticut, Rep. Colin Allred of Texas, Rep. Lauren Underwood of Illinois, and Rep. Sharice Davids of Kansas, according to the report.

According to Opensecrets.org, MoveOn ended March with $19.5 million on hand and raised $11.5 million through $200 or fewer contributions.
However, it may take more than just money during this election bid, as Democrats see eroding support among the electorate in several polls.

“Our theory is we know we have a shot at winning, maintaining our Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, which will be hard, but it’s possible,” Epting told Politico.
